Additionally, my site, wintermutedigital.com, is currently undergoing a major revision and will be up sometime in April 2020. I am moving from Wordpress to a static site generator, like Hugo/Gatsby, and I’ll be coding it from the ground up. This may take a while, but this video will not be available as a text post immediately.
